Does anyone know how to stop the admin permission messages coming up? Trying to install a program and i get this message:

Quote :

You may not have the necessary permissions to use all the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user.



Then I get the option between current or admin - Admin requiring a username and password.

I'm sorry but this is stupid, I buy a new laptop for £600 - It's all mine but oh somehow I don't have permission to install something on my own laptop. I have vista on my desktop and never had this problem. This is seriously annoying me, any permanent fixes rather than quick one of work a rounds?

Make your account an admin account... problem solved. If you want to avoid typing in your password all the time, remove the password. This is extra security in case some sort of malware decides it wants to install itself.

My account already is an admin, that was what was annoying me. Anyway it seems to have fixed its self when It installed the 53 automatic updates.

Thanks anyhoo
